In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery.

Facing cruelty – personified by a malevolent slave owner, portrayed by Michael Fassbender – as well as unexpected kindnesses, Solomon struggles not only to stay alive, but to retain his dignity.

In the 12 years of his unforgettable odyssey, Solomon’s chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt) forever alters his life.
